Dear Texas 2015 - 2017

In 2014 we created DEAR Texas to find a way to merge Texas Authors and Texas Readers. Borrowing from the idea created by Beverly Cleary who first wrote about it in her book Ramona Quimby, Age 8 (pages 40-41), we wanted to help expand upon the idea and encourage people of ALL ages to read more.

On April 12, 2015 we had 86 Texas Authors signed up to be in 30 bookstores in 24 cities across the state. Major book stores and independents brought readers and authors together with such success, it was only natural to expand it to a two day event.

On April 16 & 17, 2016 we had 80 Texas Authors signed up to be in bookstores across Texas. Major book stores and independents brought readers and authors together for another historical event.

On April 8 & 9, 2017 our goal is to have 100 plus Texas Authors spread around the state presenting their books for readings, signings and other fun activities
